Invicta Hunters Collection

[PhilSauria]

Wow indeed, and I can see why you have the name that you do, a very successful invicta Hunter by the look of this lot! Never knew that there were so many color variants. No wonder I can't find a Lambeosaur anywhere - they're all on your shelves! Great collection and thanks for sharing.

@Invicta Hunter: Yes, PhilSauria is absolutely right, your forum name says really all and your name is program!
                            You´re really definitely "hunting" the Invicta´s !!!
Fantastic new shelf photos, I had never known,that there are so much colour variations!The neon green Stego,I love him and the,
I think luminescent Cetiosaurus, perhaps I am right and he´s glowing in the dark,too?
Really interesting the very much creamy variations and so much different Stegosaurus colours, very cool, your T-Rex herd and a lot
colours of Scelidosaurus!
And all the knock-offs, absolutely a hammer Invicta Collection!

I am still missing Struthiomimus, Lambeosaurus, yellow Iguanodon, Mamenchisaurus, Dimetrodon, Whale, Ichthyosaurus,Mammoth!

Thanks a lot,too, for the information of posting #65, that the big green dino is a PNSO Chungkingosaurus!Very interesting!

It is  totally overwhelming to see those Invicta shelves. Leaves me bteathless.   I cannot help but bowing to those in respect and admiration.  Pathos aside,  was there really a blue whale variant with its tail directing downwards or is this a custom made figure?! And what about the mini Brachiosaurus?!

[Invicta Hunter]

Very impressive! What's the story behind the whale with its tail down and the mini brachiosaurus? This is the first I've seen them.

The whale doesnt seem to be made by Invicta as i cant see any makers marks on it but it looks and feels so much like one i just put it on my Invicta shelf. I bought it some years back with a normal Invicta whale. The seller thought it was very Invicta like as well but he didnt have any info about where it came from or who made it. It's made from the same kind of plastic as the Invicta one and even the way it was made looks to be the same. As for the mini brachio figures they are knock offs but still look good amongst the real figures.

Lovely Invicta's I'm in the process of cataloguing and photographing my collection as well.
Since you seems to know a lot about Invicta figures, can I ask you a question? Are you aware of Invicta ever producing metal versions? I have one that is, I'm pretty sure, is made out of metal.

I dont think they ever made them in metal. I have a metal triceratops and mammoth but these are fakes and are not very well made.
When you say you have a metal figure is it a plesio? If so there are a few different versions of it and one of them is made of a really hard and heavy plastic. This one really feels like it's made of metal but it's not, also this version has an ''A'' at the beginning of it's name. Later versions have the ''A'' removed.

There are a lot of colour variants out there but none of mine are glow in the dark. Some of these variants were made by a company that was subcontracted by Invicta when there was too much work for them to handle by themselves. When this company ran out of the normal coloured plastic for a figure they would just use another one instead and sometimes they would use more than one colour which lead to a marble effect. Also some of my variants are from the painted set but these ones never had their paint applied. These ones are made from either a light creamy coloured plastic or a clear with light brown plastic. There are so many little interesting things like this when it comes to the Invicta set. That's why i love it so much.

Thanks 
I found the dimetrodon on ebay if your interested.
I think if you make an offer the seller would take £10.

In a word - awesome! Never knew these existed - thanks for the enlightenment.

[BrontoScorpio]

Are those also made of Plastic ?

[Invicta Hunter]

They are plastic with gold leaf.

Congratulations on your acquisition of these really unique Invictas.

[Roselaar]

Oh my, those golden Invictasaurs are absolutely gorgeous!

[Shonisaurus]

I really like the Invicta collection of plastic and gold breads is very beautiful.

Honestly speaking I once thought why some jewelry would not venture to make figures of toy dinosaurs with precious metals or noble materials. I see that imagination surpasses reality.

I congratulate you on your plastic and gold Invicta collection. 

[Libraraptor]

Those golden figures Blow my mind!

Yes, it is indeed a plesiosaur! Wow, if it is indeed plastic, it sure feels and sound very much like metal. Thanks for the info.
Those golden figures are awesome! I once saw a set being sold and I thought that they were custom made and painted, now I wish I got the set
